HELLO SPRING TAN! – THE SHADY SUN COLLAB

So it’s no secret I’m pretty pale. In fact, I have such fair skin that in those winter months when I’m not getting much sun, I tend to look like ghost in photos and if there’s any bright light at all, I basically disappear. With spring coming up and my birthday just a few months away, I’m planning on doing a few girls trips and I plan on documenting everything as usual and don’t want to look transparent in all my pics!

I’ve never been a fan of tanning beds and although when I was as a teenager I remember spending hours baking in the sun to get that golden summer tan, I’m now more conscious about things like skin cancer so I was definitely excited to try a sunless tanning product!

The Shady Sun Tanning Co.The Shady Sun was started in 2015 by a true beach bum and tanning addict with over 12 years in the industry. They offer quality products at a fair price and both their solution and product lines are fully customizable for different skin tones and tanning preferences.

Why The Shady Sun:I’m very particular about products I use on my body and all of The Shady Sun spray tan solutions are made with 100% naturally-derived DHA.
